The Dutchess, Chef Lee Styer’s brand-new fast casual concept nestled in the Pennsport neighborhood of South Philadelphia, is set to open its doors at 1527 S. Fourth Street on Wednesday, June 8, boasting a rotating menu of breakfast sandwiches and coffee by day, and burgers, falafel flatbreads, salads, chicken sandwiches, and house-made artisan ice cream by evening, available Wednesday through Sunday from 10am – 8pm.

Husband-and-wife duo Chef Lee Styer and Pastry Chef Jessie Prawlucki-Styer, along with partner Chef Kevin Watters, are continuing a tradition of serving locals and visitors alike with the launch of The Dutchess, in addition to über-popular sister restaurant The Dutch on East Passyunk Avenue which has been at the forefront of the Philadelphia brunch scene since April 2016. The Dutch moved to 11^th and Tasker in March of this year, with the intent of creating a more casual concept with counter service, grab-and-go meals, and takeaway service – hence the birth of The Dutchess.

“We’re exceedingly excited to return to the original location of The Dutch with a new, tweaked concept, The Dutchess,” said Chef Lee Styer. “We’re thrilled to bring house-made ice cream, burgers, sandwiches, and more to the community of Pennsport.”

Highlights from the all-new menu at The Dutchess include the following:

–    Breakfast Burger: Bacon, Dippy Egg, Lettuce, Tomato, Special Sauce

–    Double Cheeseburger: American Cheese, Special Sauce, Lettuce, Tomato, Brioche Bun

–    Falafel Flatbread: Grilled Sourdough, Tomato Cucumber Salad, Tahini Sauce

–    Crispy Fried Buffalo Chicken Sandwich: Buttermilk – Redhot Marinated Chicken, Spicy Breading, Lettuce, Celery, Tomato, Blue Cheese Sauce, Brioche Bun

–    House-made Ice Cream: Choice of Malted Milk Chocolate and Salted Caramel (served in a single-serving cup, semifreddo-style)

Starting on Wednesday, June 8, The Dutchess located at 1527 S. Fourth Street will operate Wednesday through Sunday from 10am – 8pm with dine-in, outdoor seating, and takeaway available. Imbiber’s can look forward to weekly craft beer pop-ups in the weeks ahead.
